Despite our best efforts to include the remaining unreleased episodes, due to licensing issues, it is very likely that Volume 39 will be the last collection of never-before-released episodes, and that these remaining episodes may never get a legitimate release. With this in mind, we decided the next best option was to release the remaining host segments by themselves.

I assumed they were struggling to secure the rights to 4 films for a full box set, so I was really hoping for a late season KTMA episode or two with video quality on par with the first 2 episodes that Joel released. Oh well. Guess this gives me an excuse to go back and watch the episodes I've been holding out re-watching for years waiting for official better than VHS quality releases now that it looks like we won't get them.

As the years go by I think we can count on Shout! to release, as single DVD's, any eps when the rights issue changes. They've done a great job. Too bad about Deadly Bees. It's a favorite as is the Amazing C Man.

In my opinion, it would be better if people like Toho, Susan Hart, and the rest of the people who own the other movies stop being damn stubborn and let Shout released the episodes! Honestly, what are they afraid of?

Damn. I've thought for years this would be a likely scenario when we got toward the end. At least they got Diabolik.

A disc of host segments seems really lame though.

So which episodes does that leave unreleased on DVD?

I'm not particularly religious, and I don't really like Muppets, but I do love word play.
